A Sonic X-Treme promo video from E3 1996 hit the net yesterday, courtesy of YouTube user ArgyleDX. Some of the footage you may recognise from an off-screen recording of the SEGA Saturn game’s E3 1996 trailer, while some of it you may have not seen before. The video is very much in line with SEGA’s classic advertising combat against then rival Nintendo, who had their big N64 launch title Super Mario 64 on the way that year.
ArgyleDX has also shared a couple of other SEGA videos from E3 1996 promoting games for the SEGA Saturn and SEGA Genesis and Nomad. Those are available after the jump.

Troysson81 is a saint.
No, really. It takes a saint to have to rewatch nearly every cutscene in Sonic 2006 and have the patience to make a music video out of its dialogue.
And it’s too addicting to put down.

Also, if you spot the in-music reference, congratulations! You earned bragging rights!

Continuing the discussion party on from Part 1, Pete “TitansCreed” Nethercote and Svend “Dreadknux” Joscelyne keep the ball rolling around at the speed of sound on The Sonic Stadium’s 12th anniversary for the second part of the newest Community Spotlight!
Stay tuned for celebratory shiznit on the site, folks! At the moment, we just need rings, emeralds, a nice green hill to celebrate on, food, party cannons, party hats, maybe a doctor we haven’t seen in a while… And of course, super awesome activities! Don’t go away, ’cause this is all coming real soon, and it’s gonna be brilliant!
httpv://youtu.be/1HB4cJor9xk
Happy 12th Anniversary to The Sonic Stadium! And hey, you know what this calls for!?
A PARTY!
To commemorate this occasion, TitansCreed turns the Community Spotlight on us this time! To those unknowing, the Community Spotlight is when Pete highlights individuals or groups who have made an impact in the SEGA/Sonic fandom.
So, to celebrate our anniversary, joining him as the discussion leads to The Sonic Stadium’s history and impact in the fandom is no one but the head honcho of TSS himself – the mother-loving Sonical Batman and the founding father of the site, Svend “Dreadknux” Joscelyne!
Part 2 is to go live on Thursday!
“Megamix” is right! What a gargantuan mash-up!
Hauntershadow, who you may recall as the one behind the Bowser vs. Eggman mash-up a while back, put this together… and holy hell, what a masterpiece!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr9Pia_JVvM
In fact, head on after the jump to see a list of all the tracks that have been put together!

Consider this an early Halloween treat from Steven Page, also known as the guy behind Balena Productions! So, if you’re into Freak-Outs, great machinima videos, jokers, quality entertainment, Sonic and Tails bro-ing out, Halloween candy, and spot-on voice work, then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Then again, being on TSS automatically puts you in the right place, but I digress!
From the entertainment channel that brought you Sonic in JAWS and The OMG most Original fanfic Idea EVER, Balena Productions presents…

Living up to its name, the Community Spotlight does indeed highlight communities and people of the Sonic fandom from all over the world: this episode is no exception to that rule!
Today, TitansCreed chats with the folks from the Spanish Sonic news site, Sonic Paradise! Of the Paradise team, Fabian Cerda (Jack Wallace), Andrea Gil (Ash the Dragon), and Alberto Carmona (RACCAR) join Pete as they discuss the site and its background.

As we reported earlier today, Sumo Digital were at Manchester’s Play Expo showing off ASRT and talking about the making of the game. Whilst we got confirmation of MeeMee being in the roster and a few other tid bits, we’ve now got nearly half an hour of footage from the presentation… Needless to say, this contains A LOT of spoilers. Judging by how the video cuts off in the second part, it would seem that there might be more to come.
Stay tuned to TSS for more information as we get it.

As it is also Kirby’s 20th anniversary this year, it’s only appropriate to give the little pink warrior a proper send-off, right?
So, we’ll honour the music of the Kirby franchise through Mash-Up Monday! A mash-up truly fit for a King!
The Masked Dedede battle theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra‘s Revenge of the King is combined with Sonic Adventure 2‘s Rhythm and Balance for White Jungle!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqpSS8dwki4
We could use more Sonic/Kirby mash-ups…

The Play Expo event was held in Manchester this weekend and Sumo Digital were due to give a talk about the making of Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed as well as a small Q&A session.
Earlier reports coming from the event suggested that a new build of the game was shown that included several new features as well as the first appearance of a new racer, MeeMee from Super Monkey Ball.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V9R4beYFdY
Update: It would appear that later into the race, Deadpool joined in… only to then be taken out by Sonic… today has been amazing. Hit the read more link for the vid.
Original Story: And now for something I didn’t expect to see today. Over at New York Comic Con, two cosplayer’s took part in a race in what I assume was to determine supreme champion of the universe who was the fastest. Cheered on by the crowd, Sonic and The Flash took to E Hall in a sprint to answer a question that has bugged nerd-kind for years. Who is faster? Sonic? Or the Flash?
Sonic Generations in one minute, as told by the folks at LORE! This is about as “long story short” as it gets!

A special combination indeed…
For this week, we bring you a mash-up that can only be described as special. Fans of The Legend of Zelda will surely be pleased with this one!
Mashed together by Shadowlink4321, Dear Wind Waker is as written. The ending credits theme to Wind Waker fuses with that of Sonic Unleashed: Dear My Friend!
And thus, I dedicate this Mash-Up Monday to my own special friend, who I hold very dear.

One of the rewards for those that play Sonic Adventure 2 HD for more than 5 hours is a short interview video about some insights of the game.
We know that some of you don’t even own an Xbox or Playstation or maybe have played this game to death on older formats, so we here at The Sonic Show decided to upload it for your viewing pleasure!
Push it, Knuckles.
Push ALL the buttons.

What better way to celebrate the upcoming release of Sonic Adventure 2 HD on XBLA, PSN, and PC, than with this ?
We’ve got quite a super Mash-Up Monday for you all today! Those who cannot withstand mash-up power levels exceeding 9000 are advised to proceed with caution. (There, I just saved you all the joke.)
The main theme to the Dreamcast classic, Crush 40’s Live and Learn, fuses with Bruce Faulconer’s SSJ3 Ascension theme from Dragonball Z to commemorate this great occasion! Super Sonic and Super Saiyan Goku? Now that, I dig.

Remember our good ol’ pal Elson “Darkspeeds” Wong? How about that animated adaptation of Archie Comics’ Sonic Universe – The Silver Saga he put together?
To those unfamiliar, the Sonic Comic Dramas aren’t mere scans of the actual comics themselves! Far from it, in fact: voice acting, sound effects, special effects, camera pans, original art, and music all contribute to the Dramas, and I’m not kidding when I say it’s high quality work right there! Reading the comics suddenly feels a whole lot more cinematic now!
All I’m missing is the popcorn, but that can easily be rectified.
So, whether or not you follow the Archie comics, get a load of the latest entry in the series! Adapting select scenes from issues #217 and #218, we take a look at some of Bunnie Rabbot’s backstory in A Rabbot Reunion! Featuring Kovabomb as Sonic and Evan Stanley as Bunnie!
In the meantime, why not check out the previous entries of Elson’s animated adaptations as well? Links are available after the jump!

Itching to see more of Sonic Adventure 2 HD in action? Well, hold on to your party hats, because the footage you’re about to see is absolutely brilliant!

Courtesy of SEGA of Japan (if the Japanese language and text weren’t a dead giveaway), a near 3 minute montage went online yesterday showcasing the upcoming rerelease in high definition action. The video demonstrates cutscenes, multiplayer, the Chao Karate, and bits of the bonus documentary that will accompany the highly anticipated classic, and I have to say: the entire package looks gorgeous.
Eager fans of this game will find SA2HD, as well as NiGHTS into Dreams HD, available on their consoles as early as next week!
Can I just take a minute to add how beautiful that game looks right now? Because I would just love to say how beautiful that game looks right now. It’s so beautiful!

Trekking on to Part 2, TitansCreed’s coverage on Sonic Wrecks continues for the newest episode of the Community Spotlight. Once again, TC is joined by AAUK, Blake Draco, Rabid-Noodles, Ram the Dragon, and TA Black of the Sonic Wrecks crew!
To listen to Part 1 of the Sonic Wrecks Community Spotlight, head on here!
This was borderline Freak-Out Friday material… But hey, why not start our week off with this?
Like a bad joke, Arique decided to combine the infamous Carnival Night Zone’s music with the hypnotic Afro Circus by Marty, the zebra of Madagascar fame.
The result? This addicting mash-up!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP1v5sGM56w
Okay, now remove Carnival Night from the equation, and replace it with Oil Desert.
Worst part of this is: I’m not even joking. No, seriously.
That Tornado is really carrying a car.

I see what you did there, Megamaniscrazy…
Special thanks to Masaru Daimon on the SSMB for the tip!

For the latest instalment of the Community Spotlight, TitansCreed interviews and chats with some of the crew down at Sonic Wrecks, discussing its impact on the Sonic community as a whole and its history!
TitansCreed is joined by AAUK, Blake Draco, Ram the Dragon, Rabid-Noodles, and TA Black of the Sonic Wrecks staff!
Hail to the King (of Pop), baby!
As if the world hasn’t seen enough Michael Jackson/Sonic mash-ups, Hyper-Shan of the SSMB decided to combine one of the King’s tracks with something a little more recent than most combinations.
Thus, fusing Sky Fortress Acts 2 and 3 of Sonic 4: Episode II with They Don’t Care About Us, this mash-up was born!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkrpe7jYiq8
On that note, happy birthday to Shan as well! Have a good one!

It’s that time of year again Blue Believers, when our wallets tremble as the stores start getting filled with all manner of new toys and products that have been teased to us all year long. So here at TSS, we’ve decided to try and review as many Sonic related products as we can to make your wallets life a bit easier, or harder if everything ends up being awesome! To start with, we’re going to look at a product which has been out for over a month, but had quite the reaction when it was announced. The Sonic X Hello Kitty plush!
Games Radar have uploaded a short video showing gameplay footage of ASRT on the Wii-U, however unlike your typical gameplay video, this one includes a picture in picture of the controller, giving you an idea as to what appears on the screen as well as how one controls the game.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrHlPNPdPg
In terms of the game itself, the only criticisms I can spot are from the frame rate of the early build. The main problems seem to be with the controller itself. The screen is ‘distracting’ and that it’s ‘hard to press the boost’ assuming this means the ‘weapons fire’ button, since boost triggers automatically following a drift? That said there are a number of positives from the video like a ‘good sense of speed’ and the player does seem to be enjoying himself despite it being an early build.
Nothing much else new is shown in the video other than maybe some weapons, though we do get our first clear glimpse of the ‘Seaside Hill Monster,’ I don’t know if he/she has an official name yet. My theory? Eggman finally got Nessie.
So? What do you think? The comment box awaits!
Thanks to FourCartridge for the heads up.
“Have no fear”?
…understatement of the century right there.

I dare not ask what TheChickenLobster was thinking…
Looks like the blue blur might be in for more than just a PSA cameo.
On the Wreck-It Ralph Facebook page, a new poster for the upcoming Disney movie has been unveiled. What has caught the attention of many is the addition of a certain Sonic the Hedgehog.
Rich Moore has not only confirmed Sonic’s appearance in the film, but generously showed fans a clip of the film back at Sonic Boom, where Sonic is seen giving a public service announcement not too unlike those of the old Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. However, the new poster, along with a recently released Japanese trailer for the movie (viewable after the jump!), seems to suggest that Sonic just might be playing a much bigger role in this theatrical love letter to retro gaming.
Wreck-It Ralph will premiere in North American theatres on November 2nd. Ralph is also a playable character in the upcoming Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
As Jet Set Radio will see its first release onto the digital marketplace in a few short days (PSN+ users, you lucky gits), this week’s Mash-Up Monday is entirely dedicated to the man responsible behind most of JSR‘s delicious soundtrack. You may also recognize his work in Sonic Rush as well!
Yes, this week, we’ll be looking into mash-ups involving the music of the one and only Hideki Naganuma! We got a total of five mash-ups to celebrate his work!
First up is a mash-up by Seenik09, comprised of Naganuma’s Teknopathic from Jet Set Radio Future and something I’m sure you all miss dearly.
Put your slam jams together for SlamnoJamthetic!

More after the jump!
Multiplayer gaming. A wonderful gift as well as a terrible curse, it can bring out the worst in people no matter the genre: racing, parties, co-op, and in today’s case, fighting.
In games such as the Super Smash Brothers franchise, sore losers can and will go out of their own way to blame their loss on all sorts of things, whether it be Smash Balls and various items (of which I would imagine all players agreeing to beforehand), “distractions”, “not being at their best”, and other excuses.
Now, what if it were to happen in-game?
As Tigura21 demonstrates, the world of Brawl is now divided over whether or not the usage of items should be banned from here on out; Smashers such as Sonic and Marth give their separate views on this issue. What sparked this debate, you may ask?
Well, it all began when the Cracker Launcher item was working a little too well…

Now… did that leave you begging for more?
